Mr. Kazu explains how to classify triangles using a hierarchy. He begins by introducing the concept of hierarchies with examples of students and food. He then defines polygons and focuses on triangles, describing their types based on side lengths: scalene, isosceles, and equilateral. Next, he categorizes triangles by angles: right, acute, and obtuse. Finally, he demonstrates how to classify triangles using examples and a hierarchy chart.

What is a hierarchy primarily used for?

• Sorting things by weight

• Sorting things by size

• Sorting things by importance or characteristics

• Sorting things by color

Which of the following is NOT a property of polygons?

• Made up of straight lines

• Enclosed figures

• Three-dimensional

• Flat figures
